F3 parking brake stuck after installing new pads - release ideas?

[Peteoz]

Being the computer Luddite that I am I messed up the photos and managed to duplicate, delete and totally stuff things up.
I think with Peters help I may have been able to pop them back in.
HOWZATT! Are they showing?

Hahaha……we’ve all been THERE, Iso :thumbup:

I worked out my system wont let me send a 10m MB file.
I have to load something up , some drive thingi, yeah right .

I will have to wait for someone who knows how to load it.
I got growled at last time I tried that.

So hopefully somebody can oblige soonish.

Thanks for your assistance, I’m just going to replace the park brake motor!

Well, I saw a post from a member, I had an idea. I adjusted the park brake cable to get as much slack as possible. It worked. Apparently by installing new brake pads it put way too much stress on the park brake motor. By loosening, it took the pressure off the motor and now it appears to have fixed the sticking park brake. Let’s see if that stays fixed! Cheers
